Expert Commentary
Refers to Specimen Type A, a dog-bone shaped specimen for rigid foams. This geometry is used when the material is thick enough to be machined. The technical focus is on the Grip Interface. Standard wedge grips will crush the foam before the test begins. MTO offers Contoured Inserts that match the radius of the Type A specimen, distributing the clamping pressure over a larger surface area. This allows the tensile load to be transferred into the gauge section effectively, ensuring a valid mid-gauge failure rather than a failure at the transition zone.
